Re: Just started conversion last night
OK, I just read the Baquil conversion information in pool school. Never felt the need to before this, it's a short read though and very similar to standard shocking info.
I see that you're saying you "shock" every 12 hours. That's not what the conversion information says to do. It also does say to lower pH to 7.2 before starting.
Because you're at 0 FC right now, your pH reading should be accurate. Because you're at 0 FC right now, you're not shocking and you can again lower pH to 7.2 and begin to shock again.
But you don't want to shock every 12 hours. You need to maintain shock level or 15ppm as the conversion information says to do hourly till you pass the three criteria.
Maybe a full set of results would help. Do you have any CYA in the pool? What chlorine level are you aiming for for shocking?
